This was well written. But the author read this himself and I really hated his attempts at voices and accents.
This wasn't a world that I was eager to enter (book club selection), but I was swiftly completely absorbed.
The accounts of sexual assault and the people who knowingly tried to bury or diminish those experiences stirred up a LOT of rage while reading, but that was tempered by fascination surrounding the journalism, Hollywood, + legal components.
It's gratifying that Farrow doesn't hesitate to name names.
I think this will be a great one for discussion.

What an eye opening book about the corruption and power the rich, famous and influential hold. This book shines a feminist light on the shocking dark side of the media and the catch and kill culture surrounding stories that could disrepute society’s influential people. It feels like an especially important and pertinent read with the current political climate in the USA.

If you're looking for a book that is fascinating to read, important, and also kinda makes you want to burn everything to the ground, look no further.

A well done investigation into both Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer, and the people protecting them. A good companion to She Said by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey which tread similar ground but with totally opposite backing publications.
It was worth the three month wait from the library. Farrow’s reporting is exceptional. This is not just about Weinstein. It’s about journalism for sale; abuse of power in all arenas; and information for sale to the highest bidder. Truly eye opening and a must read for everyone who cares about these things.
